Hi. This is Mark and Stephen Gray from TheDVCC.com. Today, we’re going to be talking about prostate cancer and what you can do to prevent it.
Age as Risk Factor of Prostate Cancer
Stephen: And the first risk factor for prostate cancer is actually age. Men of about 65 years of age has been shown to be much more risked of developing prostate cancer, but that doesn’t mean you wait until you are 65 before you start thinking about it. You can make great strides to helping prevent your risk of developing prostate cancer by starting to think about it now, no matter what age you are. So I’m 30 now and it will be wise for me to start thinking about making sure that my lifestyle is such that I’m minimizing my risk of developing prostate cancer. So if you’re in your 40s, it’s definitely a good time to really start thinking about doing something to minimize your risk.
Simple Way To Prevent Prostate Cancer
Now the first thing you can actually do to really minimize that risk is to massively increase the amount of tomato-based foods you have in your diet. So basically, lots of different sauces that are made of tomato and just using tomatoes in your cooking and in your salads, all different things that you can use and this is because of the lycopene that tomatoes contain, it’s a really great antioxidant, and it has been shown to actually help prevent prostate cancer. So it’s really great thing that you can do to actually try and minimize your risk – massively increase the amount of tomatoes you have in your diet.
Mark: Now I hope you got some actionable steps there. I know you’re not going to believe part of that and that’s the fact that with 30, the fact that Botox has been helping Stephen defy his age, but do comment. We really are passionate about helping people with nutrition and things to stop things such as cancers.
So until next time, this is Steve and Mark from TheDVCC.com
